Make service-now email address for contact forms different based on rails environment

This issue is a request to make the service-now email address depend on the rails environment: production, staging, or dev.

After we go into production, I think there's still value in having a contact form that sends email to usgtst@service-now.com (the service-now test site).

I suggest that https://gs-dev.galileo.usg.edu/contact could be one location for this, but it's only available on campus.

So the other possible location is https://gs-staging.galileo.usg.edu/contact, which is available off campus, e.g., for USG staff to send test comments, but I have a question about that (see below).

site environment email address after go-live
https://www.galileo.usg.edu/contact live production usg@service-now.com usg@service-now.com
https://new.galileo.usg.edu/contact soon production usgtst@service-now.com usg@service-now.com
https://gs-staging.galileo.usg.edu/contact staging usgtst@service-now.com usgtst@service-now.com*
https://gs-dev.galileo.usg.edu/contact dev usgtst@service-now.com usgtst@service-now.com

Questions:

  1. Could https://new.galileo.usg.edu/contact point to usg@service-now.com NOW--before go-live?
    • It would be one fewer things to change later
  2. * After go-live, should https://gs-staging.galileo.usg.edu/contact point to usg@service-now.com or usgtst@service-now.com?
    • I assume we'll ask people to look at gs-staging to evaluate changes ongoing
    • If they then send us comments via the gs-staging contact form, we'll have to look at usgtst for those comments.
    • That could be a good thing (i.e., they aren't production-level service-now tickets)
